Back at home

It was the end of the day, as the citizens of the city walked through out the city in anticipation, Ichigo was the one out walking with one hand in his pocket and the other scrathing his head with a narrow face as he always does. "What a long day, its been so boring " he thought to himself. As he walks the streets he remembers the time when he met a shinigami in this area.

He looking around the city, seeing all the lights and cars it was one busy day, he sits on a bench leans back as his head lifts up and looks at the sky, Ichigo looks above about the city seeing alot of things, birds chirping, cars honking, it was just a regular day in the city "Its been a long day since I went to the SS" he thought to himself as he back his arms back of the bench, kinda kicking back from a hell of a day. He looks a far and sees a family acrossing the street, his face soften up which kinda reminds him of his family when he was a little boy when his mom was still alive.

Ichigo smiled as all of a sudden his eyes was covered by a pair of hands, he heard a voice. He smiling chuckling a bit, he recognized that sweet soothing voice from anywhere, he touched her holding her hands some sort "Let me guess Inoue Orihime?" he answered as he smiled

"Kurosaki-kun your good you figured it out in one guess." Orihime smiles and goes around the bench to stand in front of Ichigo. "So Kurosaki-kun is there anything you want to do right now? See a movie, take a walk or maybe even hang out at an arcade?"

"Kurosaki-kun what's wrong you seem sort of shocked? Friends hang out with each other all the time don't they? That's what we're doing hanging out right?" Orihime wonders what is going through Ichigo's mind since as far as she knows he doesn't see her th way she wants him to. So she isn't going to try making him see her that way, she wants him to get there on his own.

Ichigo looks at her with a smile but a bit nervous on the inside "Well its just that I thought you wanted to go out with me or something which had me nervous but since you said you wanted to hang out as friends, Im not nervous anymore" he said smiling

Orihime's face takes on a slightly saddened expression, but she goes back to being her normal self. "It's okay we were, but we aren't dating or anything so it's not a problem Kurosaki-kun. Who knows maybe someday you'll decide who you want to date. just make sure she'll trreat you right okay Kurosaki-kun?" Orihime seems a little nervous when saying that to Ichigo regarding girl friends.

Ichigo looks at her seeing her expression, he moves behind her quickly pressing his chest on her back, wrapping his arms around her lower stomach pulling her back to him their faces touching "Inoue I already decided" he said smiling

"You did Kurosaki-kun? Well I hope she treats you right, if not I'll...... The world is mine. I'll make everyone be nice or they'll have to... Oh crap it's a gun. Run away Kurosaki-kun." Orihime weirds out as normal, but this time she does it in front of Ichigo.

Ichigo looks at her weirding out as always, he needed to put a end to this before anything happens. He takes ahold of her face with both hands then kisses her softly holding it for a few seconds "I chose you silly"

Orihime is surprised by Ichigo grabbing her face with of his hands and kissing her. She blushes and goes weak in the knees causing her to almost fall down into a kneeling position. She looks into his face happier than ever before. She starts kissing him back wraps her arms around him.

Ichigo smiles as she starts kissing him, when she got happy he got happy. He wraps his arms around her waist enjoying her lips against his, it was the best thing that could ever happen, he pulls back slowly breathing a bit "So what should we do now?" He asked

Tsubaki emerges from Orihime's hairpins and smacks her in the head. "Your not dreaming dumb ass, now kiss him again and go somewhere already!" Orihime blushes and kisses Ichigo again. "Can we get something to eat Kurosaki-kun?"

"Um okay Kurosaki-kun, but I would have to buy something to make though. Today is the day I normally buy groceries, I suppose I can do that now since I ate almost everything already. Lets see I can get more bean paste and some wasabi powder, or maybe I can pick up some leeks or butter beans?" Orihime thinks about what she should buy, although everything she mentions might make Ichigo think again about eating at her place.

Orihime sees Ichigo's face turn maybe a bit green. "Well I suppose I could get what you would like to have Kurosaki-kun? But you would have to help me get everything okay? I want to make food you will eat and be happy with after all, so lets go buy groceries so I can make us a meal." Orihime tries to put a serious look on her face and only looks a bit goofy.

Ichigo chuckles at her face a little "Ok I will help you don't worry, I have no other choice but to help my girlfriend out" he said smiling linking his arm with hers, "Let's see curry sounds a bit good right now" he suggested

"Kurosaki-kun I'll get what ever you want, after all the whole point is to make something you want to eat. I am happy as long as you have the meal you want most." Orihime smiles and wraps her arms around Ichigo's left arm.

Ichigo nudges his forehead with hers closing his eyes smiling "And I'm happy that as long you stay by my side" he said kissing her nose as they walk along the sidewalk with her hugged around his arm, they finally made it to the marketplace, "I wonder what should we put in it pork or beef?" he asked thinking
